Hello World
June 2026
I might come back and write some blog posts here in the future, but for now this is just a placeholder.
About
Hi, I'm Kalan Dominick and I am a software engineering student at California State University, San
Bernardino. I have a passion for web technologies,
distributed systems, and automation. I am constantly working on new projects
to solve real world problems.
I primarily enjoy working with Node.js using JavaScript or TypeScript. I may occasionally dabble in
other languages like C# or C++, but TypeScript is my go-to for most projects. I have experience with
a variety of frameworks and libraries, most notably Express, React, Socket.IO and
WebRTC.
When I am not at my desk, I enjoy playing a few of my favorite video games. I mostly
stick to simulation games, but you can also find me in multiplayer games with friends.
Depending on the game, I might even take it apart and figure out how to mod it or build tools for
it.
Currently, I am focused on doing freelance and contract work while I pursue my degree. I am always
open to new opportunities, particularly those that allow me to work on interesting projects and
learn new technologies. If you have a project in mind or just want to chat, feel free to reach out.
